Is it okay to have diagonal ties? If so how do you calculate rebar strength that is resisting diagonal force?
Thank you

Yes, in general. That said, I recommend posting a sketch of your particular situation.
The same as any other tie: the factored yield stress of the tie rebar.

Getting philosophical, all ties are diagonal if you rotate your piece of paper

Ties can be in whatever direction you want to be I'd say. It's just a question of whether you're picking the strut & tie diagram to match how you want to detail, or picking the detailing to match how you want to draw the S&T diagram. If you draw a bar a different direction, so long as the forces resolve you'll find out what you need
